Wildcard Gym, Hollywood, CA: Late this afternoon as Pacquiao was cooling down with his boyhood friend, Buboy Fernandez, after a brief workout with Freddie Roach, he saw Ray Beltran, his long time sparmate watching from the ringside. Beltran was with his wife and kids.
Pacquiao stopped his cooling down procedures and called on Beltran to hand over his baby so Pacquiao can cuddle him and show him off to the photographers.
The scene was so poignant as it vividly demonstrated the soft human side of the world?s best pound for pound boxer.
It was cool as it lasted and the photographers had a field day recording the incident for good time?s sake.
What a man!
